This Curiosity Snapshot provides a cross-curriculum introduction to the idea that the future is something they can design through choices, goals, and planning.
Learners explore their interests, values, and strengths, then investigate possible careers, lifestyles, and pathways. They consider how decisions about education, work, money, and wellbeing can shape the kind of life they want.
The snapshot is designed using inclusive learning principles, supporting diverse learning needs through self-paced exploration, clear instructions, flexible activity options, visual supports, and multiple ways for learners to engage, create, and reflect.
A Curiosity Snapshot is a single learning experience within the larger Curiosity Collection. Each snapshot introduces a topic through exploration, creative activities, and reflection.
